4. Borrowing Assets
Here is how you can borrow assets on Flow:
Click Borrow on your chosen pool.
Enter the amount you want, then add an amount of collateral you're happy with. Use the Min, R(ecommended), or Max buttons to fill these out for you.
Hit Borrow and sign the wallet pop‑up—your request is queued.
When the batcher processes the order, liquidity arrives in your wallet and the loan’s fixed APR is stamped. You can view it anytime in Portfolio → Borrow Positions → Interest Rate.
Key points
APR is locked when the order executes, not when you click Borrow—if utilisation rises before execution, later borrowers may pay a higher rate.
1‑day interest padding → A full day’s interest is added to the loan the moment it opens. This discourages ultra‑short loans aimed only at farming Cardano staking rewards.
You can top‑up collateral at any time (instant transaction, no queue), but you cannot remove collateral until the loan is fully repaid.
Keep an eye on the current liquidation price shown in both the Borrow and Add‑Collateral pop‑ups; we’ll add it to the Borrow Position table soon.
